Design considerations of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Plant intermediate heat exchanger
Description
The paper discusses some of the design considerations of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX). Particular emphasis is given to those areas which relate to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III and Code Case 1592. Several critical areas of the IHX are singled out for discussion to illustrate methods of approach used to satisfy the elevated temperature design criteria. These include (1) a nozzle and a tubesheet complex in which creep damage was found to be the controlling limit; (2) design considerations of a straight tube, particularly with respect to buckling under creep conditions; and (3) analytical and experimental qualification of a bellows designed to Section III Class 1 rules
